Nora is the foundation of our program. She has a rockstar personality true to the breed standard; friendly, spirited, intelligent, and that Irishman's humor! She is very handler-oriented and always up for anything. Nora enjoys the great outdoors in all seasons. She adores swimming, biking, hiking, and kayaking. During the winter, our hikes consist of running through the snow-covered fields and chasing snowballs.

Nora is such an enjoyable dog to live with. She has a true off switch and is highly adaptable to almost any environment. Nora thrives in barn hunting, dock diving, FastCAT, and will be dabbling with agility and rally in the competitive ring soon. She lives peacefully with two cats and loves children--the smaller the better according to her. During the week, she spends most days as a 'customer service dog' at my husband's music store. She takes each day in stride and is the best companion we could ever ask for.

Nora has gone on to achieve her canine good citizen certification, one step closer to this pretty girl achieving our goal to begin therapy work.
